Featured 2018 Speed Triple Rs – Ownership Thread

I’ve sort of watched this issue from the outside as my bike and quickshifter have performed flawlessly since day one and continues to do so. I’m using my tried and tested technique of burying my head in the sand so as not to provoke a reaction from my RS.

hope all you guys affected have things sorted but would love to know the real amount of bikes affected vs those sold with no problems?

I’m at 4.5k and I ride em hard!!!!

 

Thanks,

Amazingly it works really well and I’ve now adopted it as a lifestyle!

 

I think you guys with bikes that haven’t experienced this issue would be fine even without the new arm. There is more to it than that unfortunately, for the bikes that have the issue. The new arm made no difference on my new gearbox, as it experienced the same issue. The old gearbox had the old arm ground away so there would be no contact, and it had no affect on resolving the issue. I don’t think Triumph knows for sure what’s going on either. I’ve spoken to Triumph North America, who have been in contact with Triumph UK, and they have not come forward with any resolution. The linkage arm contacting the quickshifter isn’t good, but that’s not the whole issue. It’s very puzzling that Triumph engineers can’t resolve this problem.

 

I totally get your frustration and annoyance, like you say if a bike has this issue it’s a mixture of all sorts.

I had issues with a Ducati that totally put me off the brand.
